Nancy worked at Alvine & Alvine for 40-plus years as a legal assistant. She loved her job and the relationships she developed with clients.  Her devotion and dedication to her job was unprecedented. Nancy and Bob Alvine were a great team.

She also played piano at family gatherings and she played beautifully. All requests for favorite tunes were granted. She enjoyed giving piano lessons to her nephew, James. She loved the Hawkeyes and didn’t miss a game. She was always the life of the party with her infectious laugh and boundless energy. She was a giving person and would do anything for her loved ones.

Nancy loved all animals. They were her furry babies. She enjoyed going to the zoo and giving them all treats.

Loved ones that will miss Nancy-until they meet again: include one sister and two brothers.  Patricia Papenhausen (James), Port Byron: Kirk Burkhart, Taichung, Taiwan; Christopher (LeAnne), San Antonio, Texas; Nieces and nephews James, Stacie, Jennifer, Nathan, Kirk, Chandler and Joey.

In lieu of flowers donations may be made to PAWS Animal Rescue, Milan, IL.
